Econometrica, Inc.

Econometrica, Inc., a small business research and management consulting firm headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, delivers program evaluation, data analytics, economic analysis, and technical advisory services to federal civilian agencies as a prime contractor on 99% of its federal awards. The firm competes across both set-aside and full-and-open vehicles, with roughly 40% of recent prime awards designated Total Small Business; the remainder compete without set-aside restrictions. Econometrica operates across 63 distinct customer agencies with a concentrated footprint in healthcare program evaluation and housing policy analysis.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services anchors the portfolio at 31 awards worth $1.28 billion combined potential value—roughly 62% of the total $2.05 billion across all awards. The Department of Housing and Urban Development follows at 28 awards ($171.6 million potential value), split across multiple sub-offices including the Public and Indian Housing Office and the Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research. These two agencies account for the vast majority of Econometrica's dollar exposure. The Health Resources and Services Administration, GSA Federal Acquisition Service, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration round out the top five by potential value, but remain significantly smaller. Within CMS, Econometrica's signature work includes a $12.9 million delivery order (awarded June 2026) for national implementation of the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) surveys supporting the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System and Medicare Shared Savings Program, and a $15.32 million delivery order (August 2024) under the Measure and Instrument Development and Support (MIDS 2) IDIQ for value-incentives and quality-reporting appeals support, running through August 2029. Within HUD, Econometrica holds a $1.4 million single-award IDV for public housing voucher program support and has delivered multiple orders supporting the Public Housing Voucher Program's operating subsidy and appeals functions, including work for the Housing Authority of New Orleans and New York City Housing Authority. Recent HUD work also includes a $2.5 million definitive contract (January 2026) for comprehensive evaluation of the Indian Housing Block Grant Competitive Program.

Econometrica holds several multi-agency vehicles. It was awarded a seat on the OASIS+ Total Small Business set-aside IDIQ (GSA Federal Acquisition Service, December 2024) with a $999.999 billion ceiling and a five-year base plus one five-year option through December 2029. It maintains a $30 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of the Treasury Chief Financial Officer for Office of the Chief Financial Officer Planning, Analysis & Evaluation services (awarded January 2023, through January 2028). The firm holds a $1 thousand Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (Partial Small Business set-aside, July 2022 through July 2027) for support across two domain codes. It also participates in the Mission Oriented Business Integrated Services vehicle (68 task orders, $85.3 million combined potential value) and competes extensively under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (60 task orders, $104.4 million), the Small Business Expedited Research and Demonstration program (14 task orders, $108.4 million), and agency-specific IDIQs including a $2.25 million NHTSA Traffic Records Program IDIQ (awarded September 2026 as a multiple-award vehicle) and the CMS MIDS 2 structure noted above.

Activity shows variable year-to-year volume but upward trajectory through 2024. Awards totaled six in 2022, nine in 2023, and peaked at fifteen in 2024, before declining to five in 2025 and rising to nine in 2026. Twelve awards with combined potential value of $49 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure. Service Contract Inventory reporting across FY2022–FY2025 shows Econometrica invoiced $48.8 million on SCI-reportable prime contracts, with deliveries of 31.4 FTEs in FY2022, 29.8 in FY2023, 37.6 in FY2024, and 35.0 in FY2025—roughly 30–38 FTEs annually. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts ran a median of $169.54/hr, ranging from a 10th percentile of $140.59/hr to a 90th percentile of $256.68/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed an average of 10% of total contractor hours, with 31 named subcontractors reported across the dataset. Econometrica's GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans 57 categories ranging from $55.30/hr (Administrative Assistant, High School Equivalent) through $445.68/hr (Subject Matter Expert I, PhD with 30 years experience), encompassing analysts, managers, program specialists, and senior advisory roles, with no security-cleared labor offered.

Econometrica operates as a prime on nearly all work. Recent subcontract activity includes support to Sikich CPA LLC on Department of Defense Office of Inspector General audits of the Transportation Command Working Capital Fund and Defense Security Cooperation Agency Security Assistance Accounts (January 2026 awards), technical contribution to the Johns Hopkins University's Older Novice Driver Naturalistic Driving Study under NHTSA (October 2025), and support to Neil Hoosier & Associates on the CMS Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced model learning system (November 2023). Federal grant activity centers on HUD cooperative agreements for the Community Compass Technical Assistance and Capacity Building program (CFDA 14.259), with awards from the Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development spanning 2022 through 2027 and a December 2024 cooperative agreement from the Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research through September 2027 to deliver technical assistance, training, and capacity building services to state and local governments, public housing authorities, tribal organizations, and nonprofit grantees implementing HUD initiatives in affordable housing, community development, and fair housing.

Econometrica's NAICS concentration (159 awards in Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and PSC distribution (91 awards in Support-Professional: Other) reflect its positioning as a management consulting and program-evaluation specialist. The firm carries no discernible defense prime posture and operates almost exclusively in the civilian federal space. Concentration in two customer agencies (CMS and HUD) creates significant customer dependency, though the OASIS+ seat and MAS presence establish paths to task orders across a broader federal base.
